RAINN is a national leader

As the nation’s largest anti-sexual violence organization, RAINN’s work is recognized by the media, members of Congress and independent watchdog groups as a responsible leader among nonprofit organizations. Here are some of our accomplishments in Fiscal Year 2016:

Partnered with TV shows on storylines about sexual violence, including ABC’s How to Get Away with Murder, Netflix’s The Keepers, and Freeform’s The Bold Type.

Received donated ads from dozens of networks and websites to promote the National Sexual Assault Hotline.

Provided information and interviews to ABC News, the New York Times, the Washington Post, TIME, MTV News, CBS, CNN, NBC News, NPR, USA Today, and hundreds more outlets.

Provided hands-on expert advice to state and local jurisdictions working to address and prevent rape kit backlogs, as members of the DOJ-appointed Sexual Assault Kit Initiative Training and Technical Assistance team.

Spearheaded and led a coalition of more than 100 national, state, and local groups to advance the Justice for All Reauthorization Act, which has increased the use of DNA and helped solve thousands of open rape cases, enhanced victims’ rights, and expanded access to Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners.

Worked closely with Congressional leaders on the Campus Accountability and Safety Act to improve colleges’ prevention and response programs.

Worked with Congress to ensure continued, robust funding for victim services, including counseling and legal representation for survivors.
